Paul gave his as-always unvarnished opinion on the possibility of an Ashley Judd campaign to a Kentucky radio station, mocking her for living abroad with the socialists in the UK. Paul quipped:

“I heard she lived in Scotland? … I thought she was running for Parliament. I think she’d fit right in in the English Parliament.”

But it’s not just Ashley Judd’s embrace of European socialism that has Paul skeptical of her Kentucky chances — the senator also feels her overall political makeup would not be amenable to his constituency.

Paul said:

“She’s way damn too liberal for our country, for our state … She hates our biggest industry, which is coal. So I was good luck bringing the ‘I hate coal’ message to Kentucky.”

Several of my relatives were pioneers in Kentucky. The
Brig. Gen. David Thomsons, the Suggetts, the Richard Mentor Johnsons, the John James Trabues and immediate descendents. Col. Robert Paxton Trabue led the Kentucky Orphan Brigade and served at Shiloh in the War between the States. He was the grandson of Col. Daniel Trabue whose journal of his service in the American Revolution was published in 1916 as "Colonial Men and Times".

With THAT connection to Kentucky let me say I find the intelligent and talented Ms. Judd far more qualified fror the.
United States Senator from Kentucky than either the narrow minded and self-satisfied Paul OR that source of constant embarrassment, Mitch What's His Name!

Mr. Buster, the people who formed our country were certainly NOT closed-minded conservatives! THEY WERE RADICAL INTELLECTUALS who would be aghast at the ignorance of "the American Ruling Class"!
